Athenagoras of Syracuse an elusive character who is only commented on in Thucydides 6.36 40 . The context of his speech in Thucydides is 415 BC , during the Peloponnesian War , when Athens was about to invade Sicily . He denies the invasion, rudely retorting to Hermocrates speech that no invasion was imminent. The basic outline of his speech is as follows The Athenians who were already fighting a war against Sparta would not want two equally large wars on their hands Highlighting the strength of Syracuse and Sicily Scaring the population of Syracuse to gain power aimed at Hermocrates In any state the wise should rule using both sides of the argument contrasting between the oligarchs and masses Difference between an oligarchy and a democracy Again highlighting strength of Syracuse Harvey Yunis , in an article in the American Journal of Philology , argues a number of points about the speech As if to leave no doubt about the iron of Athenagoras fraudulent democratic rhetoric, Thucydides reports that following the debate the Syracusan assembly was prevented from making any decision at all. 193 In the case of Athenagoras we are shown a politician who virtually succeeds in turning a deliberation assembly into a mob 194 Athenagoras dismisses the invasion issue and seeks to inflame passions by gratuitously raising the spectre of an oligarchic revolt 194 . ref Yunis, Harvey.

Amphilochian Argos was the most important city in Amphilochia in Ancient Greece , situated on the Ambracian Gulf . Foundation legend It was, according to Greek mythology , founded by Amphilochus brother of Alcmaeon Amphilochus after the Trojan War . According to Thucydides 2.68 , Amphilochus, not caring for the situation in Argos , founded Amphilochian Argos and the whole region of Amphilochia . History Argos was later colonised by its Ambraciot neighbours at the invitation of the Amphilochian Argives. According to Thucydides, at that time the inhabitants of Amphilochian Argos became hellenized, regarding their present language, by their Ambraciot fellow settlers. These Ambraciots later drove out the Amphilochian inhabitants of the city. The Amphilochians allied themselves with the Acarnanians and also with the Athenian Empire Athenians , who despatched thirty ships under Phormio that successfully drove the Ambraciots out of Argos. It took an active part on the Athenian Empire Athenian side during the Peloponnesian War in alliance with its neighbours the Acarnanians against the Ambraciots and Leucadians , who were supported by their mother city, Corinth , and the Peloponnesian League .
